At GamesCom 2013, Sony announced a massive price drop for their handheld console "PS VITA".

This price drop was supposed to come into effect immediately after the announcement at GamesCom 2013, but confusion erupted when few GameStop employees started telling consumers that PS VITA price drop won't apply until the launch of PS4.

Seems like nonsense to me as well. The Vita was $249.99 here in the US (at least in my area/online) and now its $199.99. However, I have been on the receiving end of GameStop's "malarkey" before, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were passing out this info as gospel.

EDIT: I also notice how the link no longer works for said article. So....yeah. Nonsense.
